Someone mentioned that 6th and 7th generation CPUs have a critical issue, which is important to consider when planning a new PC build.

The 6/7 generation CPUs were launched between 2015 and 2016. Are you asking about them?

the ones being talked about were skylake and kaby lake, i didn't realize they'd been there for that long. since the person keeps copying and pasting comments, maybe i should focus on the costs and move on.

There aren't major critical issues unless you're discussing possible security weaknesses that few people exploited, which were fixed through microcode updates. Still, they remain a concern because they're not compatible with Windows 11. Check the link in my profile about upgrade or build guidance, and provide all necessary details here.

Thank you for the response, and once I finalize my parts list I'll share it here for others to review.

Request them to explain their reasoning.

I’m going to take a chance and say the main issue is you won’t be able to run Windows 11 on those devices.

Who is referred to as "somebody"? Is this a personal view or comes from an official source?
Whether you're assembling a new PC using refurbished components, I recommend opting for the most recent processor available from Intel or AMD.

Just an illustration, but the 7th generation isn't that quick, and even older used you hit the lower end of CPUs from just a few generations back.
